How to cancel Color Analysis Pro and stop recurring charges in malaysia
What is Color Analysis Pro and why you might want to cancel
Color Analysis Pro is a subscription-based software service that delivers AI-powered colour analysis, personalised palette suggestions, and style guidance through a web portal. The service operates on a recurring billing model, which means you are charged at regular intervals unless you actively cancel your subscription before the next billing cycle.
The signup process often begins with a low-cost trial period (typically USD $1.00 or approximately RM4.72 for 7 days), which automatically converts into a paid subscription if you do not cancel before the trial expires. This conversion catches many Malaysian users off guard, particularly if the cancellation path is unclear or difficult to find on the website.
Yafee has identified that the most common reason users seek cancellation is either surprise at the recurring charge amount, dissatisfaction with the analysis quality, or simply deciding the ongoing cost does not match their needs. Understanding your cancellation rights and the proper procedure is essential to avoid unwanted repeat charges.
Subscription pricing and billing cycles
Color Analysis Pro charges in USD, which means your final Malaysian ringgit amount depends on the current exchange rate and your card issuer's handling fees. The published pricing structure includes multiple subscription tiers:
| Plan type |
Frequency |
USD price |
Approx. RM (current) |
| Weekly access |
Every 7 days |
USD $14.99 |
RM 70.75 approx. |
| Monthly standard |
Every 30 days |
USD $29.99 |
RM 141.55 approx. |
| Monthly premium |
Every 30 days |
USD $69.99 |
RM 330.35 approx. |
| Quarterly bundle |
Every 90 days |
USD $29.99 |
RM 141.55 approx. |
The trial-to-paid conversion is automatic, so your subscription will renew on the date shown in your account settings unless you complete the cancellation process before that date arrives. Yafee strongly recommends logging into your account immediately to confirm your next billing date and current plan.
How Color Analysis Pro operates in malaysia
Color Analysis Pro has no dedicated Malaysia office or local support phone number. All customer support is routed through the online help portal at color-analysis.pro/help or via email to [email protected]. The company does not publish specific support hours, and response times can vary.
Because the service is US-based, billing disputes and refund requests are handled according to the company's US-facing terms of service, not Malaysian consumer law alone. However, you retain your consumer protection rights under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (Act 599) as a Malaysian resident, which we cover in detail below.
Your consumer rights under malaysian law
As a consumer in Malaysia, you are protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (Act 599), which governs unfair contract terms, misleading representations, and your right to cancel distance contracts. This protection applies even though Color Analysis Pro is a US-registered company.
Your legal position when cancelling
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have the following key rights:
- Right to cancel distance contracts: For contracts concluded online (distance contracts), you have the right to cancel within 10 business days of receiving confirmation of your order or first payment, provided you have not yet begun using the service. This period is called the "cooling-off period."
- Right to transparency: The company must provide clear, intelligible cancellation terms before you pay. If the cancellation path is hidden or unclear, the contract term may be classified as unfair under section 24A of Act 599.
- Right to a refund: If you cancel within the cooling-off period and have not used the service, you are entitled to a full refund of all payments. If you cancel after the cooling-off period but before the next billing date, the company may retain charges for the period already provided.
- Protection against automatic renewals: Under section 24A and the Directive on Unfair Contract Terms, automatic renewal clauses must be expressed clearly, and you must give explicit consent before any charge is applied.
If Color Analysis Pro refuses to honour these rights or fails to process a refund within 30 days of your cancellation request, you may lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) or file a claim in the Sessions Court.
Enforcement and escalation routes
If the company does not respond to your cancellation request or disputes your refund claim, the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs maintains a consumer helpline (1-800-886-800) and a formal complaint process. You can also engage the Federation of Malaysian Consumer Associations (FMCA) for additional support.
Yafee recommends keeping all communication records (emails, screenshots, transaction confirmations) because these documents form the basis of any formal complaint or legal claim. The burden of proof shifts to the company if you file a formal complaint; they must demonstrate that you explicitly consented to the subscription after it converted from trial to paid.
How to cancel Color Analysis Pro step by step
Follow this procedure to cancel your subscription before the next billing date and protect yourself against further charges.
Step 1: log into your account and locate your subscription details
- Visit color-analysis.pro in your web browser.
- Click "Sign In" or "Login" and enter your email address and password.
- Once logged in, look for a menu option labelled "Account," "Billing," "Subscription," "Manage Plan," or "My Plans."
- Click the option that leads to your active subscription.
- Take a screenshot of this page showing:
- Your current plan name (Weekly, Monthly Standard, Monthly Premium, or Quarterly).
- Your next billing date (in YYYY-MM-DD format if possible).
- The amount you will be charged on that date.
- Your subscription status (Active, Pending, or Cancelled).
Step 2: find the cancellation option on the website
- On the subscription management page, look for a button or link that reads "Cancel Subscription," "End Subscription," "Stop Billing," "Downgrade," or "Manage Plan."
- If you cannot find this option on the main subscription page, scroll down to check for a footer menu or click "Help" within the account area.
- If the website does not display a self-service cancellation button, proceed to Step 3 (email cancellation) immediately.
Common website issues: Some users report that the cancellation button either does not appear, leads to an error page, or loops back to the subscription summary without completing the cancellation. If this happens to you, do not attempt to cancel more than twice on the website; instead, move directly to Step 3 and cancel by email. Take a screenshot of the error as evidence.
Step 3: cancel via email if the website does not work
- Open your email client (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, or your corporate email).
- Create a new message to [email protected].
- Use the subject line: "Request to cancel my subscription - [Your Email Address]"
- In the email body, include the following details:
- Your full name and the email address linked to your Color Analysis Pro account.
- Your current subscription plan (Weekly, Monthly, or Quarterly).
- Your next billing date (copy it from your account if visible).
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my subscription effective today, [date]. Please confirm cancellation and confirm that no further charges will be applied after today."
- A request for a cancellation confirmation email to your registered email address.
- Add the screenshots you took in Step 1 as attachments (these prove you attempted self-service cancellation first).
- Send the email and check your inbox immediately for an auto-reply confirmation that the support team received your request.
- If you do not receive a response within 2 business days, send a follow-up email with the subject: "URGENT: Cancellation confirmation required - [Your Email Address]"
Yafee advises you to keep a copy of this email in a dedicated folder and note the date and time you sent it. Email timestamps are admissible evidence if you need to file a dispute with your bank or lodge a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs.
Step 4: verify cancellation through your next billing cycle
- Log back into your Color Analysis Pro account 1 day after the original next billing date to confirm that the charge did not post.
- Check your subscription status; it should now read "Cancelled," "Inactive," or "No Active Plan."
- Check your bank or credit card statement 3 to 5 business days after the original billing date. If no charge appears, cancellation was successful.
- If a charge does appear despite your cancellation request, move to the "Refund and chargeback process" section below.
Step 5: document your cancellation confirmation
- Save the cancellation confirmation email from [email protected] (if you received one) to your computer and email account archive.
- Screenshot your account page showing "Cancelled" status and store it locally.
- If the website does not show a cancellation status, print or save your bank statement showing that no charge was applied on the expected billing date.
Keeping this documentation protects you if Color Analysis Pro later claims your account is still active or if they attempt to re-bill you weeks or months later. Yafee has seen cases where companies re-activate dormant subscriptions without customer consent; having proof of your cancellation request defeats any such claim.
Refund and chargeback process
If Color Analysis Pro charged you after you submitted a cancellation request, you have several options to recover the money.
Request a refund directly from Color Analysis Pro
- Send an email to [email protected] with the subject: "Refund request - unauthorized charge on [date]"
- Include your cancellation confirmation email (if you have one) and the date you requested cancellation.
- Attach a screenshot of your bank or card statement showing the unwanted charge.
- State clearly: "I cancelled my subscription on [date] and did not authorise the charge of USD $[amount] on [charge date]. I request a full refund within 10 business days."
- Request written confirmation of the refund date and a tracking reference number.
- Allow 10 business days for a response. If you receive no reply or a refusal, proceed to Step 2 below.
File a chargeback claim with your bank
If Color Analysis Pro refuses to refund the unwanted charge, you can instruct your bank to initiate a chargeback. This is a formal dispute process in which your bank investigates the transaction and attempts to recover the funds on your behalf.
- Contact your bank's customer service by phone (use the number on the back of your card) or by visiting your nearest branch.
- Ask to speak with the disputes or chargeback department.
- Provide the following information:
- Your card number (last 4 digits for security).
- The transaction amount in MYR and the date it posted.
- The merchant name: "Color Analysis Pro" or "color-analysis.pro"
- The reason for the dispute: "Unauthorised recurring charge after cancellation request" or "Subscription charged after I cancelled."
- Submit all documentation: your cancellation email, confirmation screenshots, the refund request email you sent to support, and your bank statement.
- Your bank will assign a reference number. Note this number and follow up every 5 business days until the dispute is resolved (typically 30 to 60 days).
Escalate to the ministry of domestic trade and consumer affairs
If your chargeback fails or if Color Analysis Pro continues to bill you despite cancellation requests, file a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) by:
- Visiting the MyComplaints portal at mycomplaints.mdtca.gov.my or calling 1-800-886-800.
- Filing a complaint under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, citing "unauthorised recurring charges" and "failure to honour cancellation request."
- Attaching all communications, screenshots, and bank statements as supporting evidence.
- The MDTCA will investigate and issue a formal notice to Color Analysis Pro. The company then has 14 days to respond and remedy the breach.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation attempts often fail not because the company intends to trap you, but because users make procedural errors that leave room for dispute. Here are the pitfalls Yafee has identified and how to sidestep them.
Mistake 1: assuming cancellation is complete without written confirmation
If the website shows "Your subscription has ended" but you do not receive a confirmation email, the cancellation may not have been recorded in the company's billing system. Always demand written confirmation by email. If the website alone cancels you without email proof, send a follow-up email to [email protected] stating: "I cancelled my subscription on [date] via the website. Please send written confirmation that my account is cancelled effective [date] and will not be charged again."
Mistake 2: cancelling after the billing date has already passed
If your next billing date is 15 May and you cancel on 16 May, the charge may already be pending or posted to your account. Cancellation stops future charges only; it does not reverse a charge that has already been authorised. Check your account regularly and aim to cancel at least 3 days before the next billing date to avoid this trap.
Mistake 3: downgrading instead of cancelling
If the website offers a "Downgrade" option that moves you to a cheaper plan, this is not cancellation. The subscription remains active and will continue to bill you at the lower rate. If you want to stop all charges, click "Cancel Subscription," not "Downgrade" or "Pause."
Mistake 4: deleting your password or changing your email without cancelling first
Some users think changing their account password or deleting their email address will stop charges. It will not. The subscription will still auto-renew; you simply will not receive the receipt. Cancel formally via email or website before making any changes to your account credentials.
Mistake 5: relying only on website cancellation without backup documentation
Always send a follow-up cancellation email to [email protected], even if you cancelled on the website. This creates a paper trail. If the company later claims your cancellation was never received, your email proves otherwise. Yafee recommends this double approach for all SaaS cancellations, not just Color Analysis Pro.
What to do after you cancel
Cancellation is not truly final until your next billing date passes with no charge. Here is your post-cancellation checklist to confirm the job is done.
Monitor your account for 30 days
- Log into your Color Analysis Pro account once a week for the next 4 weeks and verify that the subscription status remains "Cancelled" or "Inactive."
- If the status reverts to "Active," contact support immediately and screenshot the evidence.
- Check your email for any messages from Color Analysis Pro offering to reactivate your account or apply a discount. Do not click any links in these emails; simply delete them or forward them to your records folder.
Monitor your bank statement
- Check your bank or credit card statement every 3 to 5 days for 30 days after the cancellation to ensure no charges post.
- If a charge appears, do not panic. Note the date, amount, and transaction reference number, then immediately request a chargeback (see the "Refund and chargeback process" section).
- Some banks allow you to set up a transaction alert for the merchant name "Color Analysis Pro." This alerts you instantly if a charge is attempted, giving you faster time to dispute it.
Unsubscribe from marketing emails
- If you continue to receive promotional emails from Color Analysis Pro after cancellation, click "Unsubscribe" at the bottom of the email to remove yourself from their mailing list.
- Forward any suspicious reactivation offers to [email protected] with the subject "Do not contact me further" and keep a copy for your records.

Key takeaways and next steps
Cancelling Color Analysis Pro is a straightforward process if you follow the documented steps and retain proof of your request. The critical points are: first, log into your account and identify your next billing date to avoid being caught off guard. Second, exhaust the website cancellation option, but do not rely on it alone. Third, send a formal cancellation email to [email protected] that includes your account details and a clear request to stop all future charges. Fourth, monitor your bank statement on the original billing date to confirm no charge was applied. Fifth, if an unwanted charge does post, request a refund from the company and, if refused, file a chargeback with your bank. Finally, keep all documentation because it forms the evidence base if you need to escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs.
Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel unwanted subscriptions by providing clear, lawful procedures grounded in the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Your cancellation rights in Malaysia are strong, and no company-including US-based SaaS providers-can legally ignore your formal cancellation request or trap you in perpetual billing. If Color Analysis Pro resists your cancellation or continues to charge you after you have submitted a valid request, the law is on your side. Use the steps outlined above, preserve your evidence, and escalate through the official channels if necessary. Yafee's guidance ensures you cancel with confidence and recover any unauthorised funds.
